Glasgow’s vibrant spirit is under threat from new 10pm parking charges proposed by the City Council. These charges could dampen our city’s nightlife and impact local businesses negatively. We must act now to preserve Glasgow’s accessibility and charm.
Your voice is crucial. By signing our petition, you’re not just opposing an additional fee; you’re fighting to keep Glasgow welcoming and lively for everyone. Let’s unite to urge the Glasgow City Council to scrap these charges. Sign the petition today and keep Glasgow for the people. Together, we can make a difference.
Glasgow City Council is proposing a significant and harmful change to our city’s parking regulations. Under the new proposal, chargeable hours for parking across all zones in Glasgow will be standardised and extended until 10pm, a drastic increase from the current 6pm cut-off. This change poses a severe threat to the vibrancy and sustainability of local businesses, including restaurants, gyms, and any establishment that relies on evening visitors.
Our campaign aims to raise public awareness about the detrimental impact this “draconian change” will have on our community and to mobilise opposition against it. We believe in protecting our local economy, preserving the unique character of Glasgow, and ensuring the safety of our residents and visitors. Join us in our fight to ensure that the voices of business owners, residents, and all stakeholders are heard.
Extending chargeable parking hours will discourage evening visitors, directly harming businesses that depend on them.
The decline in motorised visitors will contribute to reduced foot traffic in the evenings, affecting the vibrancy and safety of our city streets.
Glasgow city centre businesses cannot rely solely on public transport users. Public transport is becoming increasingly dangerous after 6pm, especially during weekends. The proposed parking charge extension will further jeopardise the safety of those who choose or need to travel by car.
The blanket application of this rule does not consider the unique needs of different areas and businesses.
Our interactive tool allows you to easily find the Glasgow City Council councillors by area. Get in touch with them to express your concerns about the proposed parking charge extension and its impact on safety and business. Every email counts, and direct communication from constituents is one of the most effective ways to influence council decisions.
The more people know about the proposed changes and their potential impact on our economy and safety, the stronger our opposition will be. Share information about this campaign with your friends, family, and on social media.
